Avatar m tn Disorders of calcium metabolism, such as hypercalcemia and hypercalciuria, may induce the formation of calcium renal stones and deposition of calcium salts in the renal parenchyma (nephrocalcinosis). The extensive deposition of calcium may lead to chronic tubulointerstitial disease and renal insufficiency. The first signs of damage induced by hypercalcemia are seen at the intracellular level, in the tubular epithelial cells.
Avatar m tn The EF below 30% is heart failure range and that can cause renal failure. Early complications of cardiac insufficiency include renal vasoconstriction and the development of sodium and water retention, which are hallmarks of the very early stages of congestive heart failure. Heart failure is a physiologically delicate condition in which therapy is designed to block the sodium retention and simultaneously interrupt excessively activated neurohumoral mechanisms.
Avatar f tn A high result means that your kidneys are not working well - called renal insufficiency. A very high result indicates renal failure.

681148 tn?1437661591 Before I wised up and learned that spelt was simply just a non-hybrid and natural form of wheat and that it still has gluten in it, I would go to make some toast with this spelt bread. Before I ever got the butter on it, the cat was trying to take the bread away from me. And, she usually has much better manners than that. I noticed that I wasn't stopping at one or two slices of this bread myself. I wised up and didn't buy any more of it.
Avatar n tn His doctors found out that he has severe aortic insufficiency secondary to aortic-annular ectasia, chronic renal insufficiency secondary to hypertensive nephrosclerosis, hypertension, controlled.. Could you explain further in layman's term? He's still currently under observation. His doctors are somewhat not sure about how will they operate him because they said that this is a very rare heart problem.
3093770 tn?1389739126 The FDA has NOT received reports of NSF among patients with normal renal function or moderate renal insufficiency”. Many of the reported cases of NSF have been in patients before or after liver transplant." The only connection to hepatitis C is in transplant patients who have renal failure and servere liver disease. Obviously most people with hepatitis C do not have servere liver disease (ESLD), waiting for a liver transplant and have renal failure.

Avatar f tn How have your blood pressures been? Multiple things can cause chf such as renal insufficiency, fluid overload, water retention from these disorders can sometimes be managed by weight control and exercising good dieting. Foods with high sodium levels can cause water retention. If I were you, I would see your PCP without delay. You don't want to end up with "flash pulmonary edema.
Avatar n tn After 7 years of therapy taking Crestor and Tricor (fenofibrate), I, too, started experiencing intense pain in my legs, feet, back, and arms. My Dr. took me off Crestor last month but the pain returned within a few days, although not as intense as it was prior to my stopping Crestor. I took myself off fenofibrate just a couple of days ago and "Wow" what a difference! I can actually sleep at night and notice that the pain is dissipating more and more each day.
Avatar f tn I started on crestor, than realized I am ttc and starting not feeling well and am on my ttw...I test for my pregnancy saturday.

Avatar n tn Has anyone gotten worsening of their PVC's from taking a statin drug? I seem to be intolerant of these drugs and have tried Crestor, Lipitor and Lescol. My PVC's go absolutely nuts when I take them. I have done my own tests by going off and on them. I consistently get worse when I'm on them. I take C0Q10 and a whole bunch of supplements including magnesium to no avail. Any feedback would be appreciated.
4295567 tn?1352353163 NSAIDS can act as mild blood thinners, cause problems with the lining of the stomach, and are contraindicated in persons with renal insufficiency.

Avatar m tn 11 mm of mercury across the valve, which is clinically insignificant for stenosis. The tricuspid and pulmonic valves were normal with evidence of mild tricuspid insufficiency and mild pulmonic insufficiency on Doppler study. There were no vegetations seen on any valve. No intracavity masses or thrombi were noted. There was no evidence of pericardial infusion. Conclusion: Left atrial size approached the upper limits of normal.
Avatar n tn it sounds as though you could have a renal (kidney) insufficiency problem possibly involving your liver. you need labwork to determine this.
